A gold medal type of place!
On my way home from the Passport Office in Stamford, I took a diversion to the town of New Canaan down in the panhandle of Connecticut. I have some good friends who grew up in New Canaan and I have wanted to stroll around this beautiful Connecticut town. New Canaan is well known for the architect Philip Johnson’s glass house and was the childhood home of Bill Toomey, the 1968 gold medal decathlon winner in Mexico City.
Gelatissimo is a nice establishment on a side street off Main Street in New Canaan. I was met by a very nice, kind gentleman who is very passionate about their gelato. Gelatissimo makes their gelato on site. They offer 20 or so flavors of a wide variety, toppings, cones, cups and cakes and make a special flavor daily.
I had a cup of their stracciatella alla menta or mint chocolate chip. But honestly their was about ten I wanted to try. Their gelato is delicious…sweet, smooth and very tasty. Their prices seem a bit high but believe me it is well worth every penny.
If you are looking for a gold medal gelato or ice cream, try Gelatissimo. You won’t be disappointed.
